Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound of large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 ripe avocados, diced
  • 2 ripe mangoes, diced
  • ¼ of a red onion, finely diced
  • ¼ cup of chopped fresh cilantro
  • Juice of 2–3 limes
  • ½ to 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced (Optional)
  • 2–3 cups cooked rice or quinoa
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for the dressing, Optional but Recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (for the dressing, Optional but Recommended)
  • ½ teaspoon honey or maple syrup (for the dressing, Optional but Recommended)
  • salt and pepper to taste (for the dressing, Optional but Recommended)
  • sesame seeds (Optional Toppings)
  • red pepper flakes (Optional Toppings)
  • chopped green onions (Optional Toppings)
  • tortilla strips or crispy wonton strips (Optional Toppings)

Instructions

  1. Start by preparing the shrimp. In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat the shrimp evenly. Set aside for 5-10 minutes to marinate.
  2. While the shrimp is marinating, prepare your other ingredients. Dice the avocados and mangoes, finely chop the red onion and cilantro, and if using, mince the jalapeño. This should take about 10 minutes.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the marinated shrimp. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until pink and slightly charred, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until fully cooked through and opaque. Avoid overcooking, as shrimp can become rubbery.
  4. While the shrimp cooks, whisk together the dressing ingredients in a small bowl: olive oil, lime juice, honey or maple syrup, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
  5. Once the shrimp is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly. In large bowls, layer your base of cooked rice or quinoa, then top with diced avocado, mango, shrimp, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño if using. Drizzle the dressing over the top.
  6. Finish with optional toppings like sesame seeds, red pepper flakes, or tortilla strips for added texture and flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy the vibrant colors and fresh aromas!

Nutrition

Keywords: Be careful not to overcook the shrimp; it should take no longer than 6 minutes total. Using a non-stick skillet can help prevent the shrimp from sticking and make for easier cleanup. For an ideal balance of flavors, aim for a 2:1 ratio of shrimp to avocado.
